What do you have?
What can you get?
What condition is your equipment in?
What do you have that is necessary?
What can you do without?
Which Grab-N-Go bag do you have? Which extra can you
get?

6.
USE All Your Senses &
UNDUE Haste Makes Waste
Look around. Listen. Smell. Feel.
Check immediate vicinity.
Unless there is an immediate threat, think before making
decisions or moving.
Plan your next move.
Decide if staying in place or moving is the smarter decision.
Make sure you don’t leave anything useful behind if moving.

Don’t become overly reliant on GPS
Stay oriented. Significant terrains features?
Make sure everyone in your group knows where they are.
Have an emergency rally point.

How can things be used differently than intended?
Be creative.
Be open to input from all team members.

VALUE Living
We are much more adaptable than we believe we are.
Trust in this.
Focus on the ONE thing you value in life above all else,
and make that your motivation to survive.

ACT Like the Native
Both human and animal.
Those who inhabit an area have adapted to it. You need
to also.
Are there places they avoid? Things they don’t eat?
Water they won’t drink?
Treat locals with respect. Gain rapport.
Remember, we’re animals too.
And we’re predators.
ADAPT

I highly recommend getting at least one print copy of the
survival manual. During an emergency you can’t count
on an eBook. It’s pocket-sized— shown next to my
trusty, old Ranger Handbook. I keep one in the glove
compartment of each car, in every Grab-n-Go bag and
also give them as gifts— the gift of life. Click on image
